Pastor & Staff |
|
| First Baptist Church has a distinctive personality, shaped by the characters and dramas of our community for more than 100 years. We have a long tradition of dedicated service to Jesus Christ. We seek to serve God through nurturing individuals and families in the faith. Our friendly spirit and diverse membership from all over Franklin Parish insure that people of every age and from all backgrounds will feel accepted in our warm fellowship. |
|
| Our
goals are reflected in our Mission Statement.
We seek to worship God in lively and meaningful ways; to reach out to
others with the life-changing message of the good news, at home and
around the world; to grow personally in our relationships to God and
each other; and to nurture that individuality that makes each of us
so special. |

As Pastor of First Baptist, let me be the first of many to welcome you!
Enjoy this experience that is ours in Christ and in being a part of
this Church!
